Hyderabad, January 20: Are you a foodie? Does learning and preparing new types of dishes appeal to you? If you are one of those who enjoy food shows on TV channels, NDTV Good Times is airing a new food reality show, Foodistan, from Monday.
The tri-weekly show, which will be aired from Monday to Wednesday at 9.30 p.m., will bring together 16 top professional chefs from India and Pakistan. “Eight professional chefs from India will compete with eight chefs from Pakistan to create the best cuisine from both the sides of the Indo-Pak border,” the show’s co-host Ira Dubey said at a press conference here on Thursday.
“The show has many twists and surprises, and the chefs will have to create the dishes that the judges demand according to their own local traditions,” Ms. Dubey explained.
The series is spread into 26 parts and is co-hosted by Aly Khan. The participants will be judged by a three-member judge panel comprising food critic Vir Sanghvi, Bollywood actor Sonya Jehan and British chef and presenter Merrilees Parker.
